Not critical at all. I have forwarded Marcelo a patch which fixes one of the problems in ppp_generic.c by changing all_ppp_lock into a semaphore. I agree that the rest of the fixes can wait for the 2.4.19-pre series. The problems tend to show up mainly on SMP boxes handling multiple PPP connections. I posted the patch so that the people who were having problems could try it and let me know if it fixed their problems.
I would appreciate it though if you had time to look over the patch and see if you think I have missed any potential races.
As for the documentation patch, it's not going to affect any code behaviour, so it can go in whenever you and Marcelo think is appropriate. :)
